Description

Instant Pot Air Fryer Roasted Cauliflower -- Roasted cauliflower just got a whole lot easier with the help of your Instant Pot Air Fryer!

Ingredients 

  • 1 whole cauliflower head
  • 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional seasonings: garlic powder, paprika, grated Parmesan cheese, and fresh herbs (e.g., parsley, thyme, or rosemary)

Instructions

  • Wash the cauliflower head and remove any green leaves. Cut it into bite-sized florets. Dry the florets thoroughly to ensure they roast well.
  • Place the cauliflower florets in a mixing bowl. Drizzle them with olive oil, ensuring all pieces are lightly coated. Season with salt and pepper. Optionally, add other seasonings like garlic powder and paprika for extra flavor.
  • Attach the air fryer lid to your Instant Pot and preheat it according to the manufacturer's instructions. Preheating is essential for achieving a crispy texture.
  • Place the seasoned cauliflower florets in the preheated air fryer basket. Ensure they are in a single layer without overcrowding.
  • Set the air fryer temperature to around 375°F (190°C) and the timer for approximately 15-20 minutes. The exact time may vary based on the size and thickness of your cauliflower florets. Be sure to shake or toss the florets halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  • The cauliflower is done when it's tender and golden brown on the outside. You can test for doneness by inserting a fork or toothpick; it should go through easily.
  • If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the roasted cauliflower during the last few minutes of cooking. This will create a delicious cheesy crust.
  • Remove the roasted cauliflower from the air fryer basket and transfer it to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
  • Serve your Instant Pot Air Fryer Roasted Cauliflower immediately while it's hot and crispy. It makes a fantastic side dish or snack.
